'Autumn's Concerto' Tiffany Hsu's character very loveable; audience finds it hard to choose

SETTV idol drama ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ ratings have reached a new high. The second female lead Tiffany Hsu’s character is very loveable, making the audience unsure of whether to support her or the female lead Ady An.

Last week, ‘Autumn’s Concerto’s storyline entered a new phase. SETTV expressed that not only did ratings reach a new high of 4.25, the 15-44 year old segment rating also reached a new high of 5.7. After main leads Vanness Wu & Ady An received affirmation from the audience, Tiffany’s character and performance is also very loveable, and the audience feel that her love and dedication isn’t any less than Ady’s character. Recently, Tiffany has also become a hot topic in online discussion forums.

Towards receiving affirmation from the audience and the good ratings, Tiffany feels surprised but happy. She said that she previously spent a long time discussing with the director about the best way to play her character Yi Qian. So to get rid of her past selfish and annoying roles, she decided to use a rather neutral method to interpret her character this time. Unexpectedly, this has allowed her to receive affirmation from the audience but many people expressed: “A too loveable second female lead makes us sink into a dilemma, who should we support?”

Last week’s storyline showed Vanness lying in Tiffany’s arms, and this made her so touched that natural tears started pouring out. To adjust her mood for this scene, Tiffany first arranged a situation in her mind, making herself completely immersed into the scene. She said: “When filming crying scenes, I usually think of my sick family members, so then I can completely relax my mood and cry!”

Other than this, Xiao Xiao Bin’s cuteness is invincible. His first appearance in ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ last week immediately captured the audience’s hearts. Many netizens felt that Xiao Xiao Bin is too cute, and even more talented than his father Xiao Bin Bin. His each and every expression was portrayed very well, and after Xiao Bin Bin heard this, he laughed saying he didn’t mind: “Right now as a father, all I feel is immense pride!” Xiao Xiao Bin’s dialogue is very smooth, his baby voice is extremely loveable, he’s extremely cute and has been given the title of ‘child prodigy’.

It's true that YiQian is a lovable character, but if I were to choose, it would still be MuCheng. Although I do hope YiQian finds happiness as well.
This is the first time I like one of Tiffany's characters, usually she's playing some annoying second female lead but this time she's almost like perfect.. - Which might be a little unrealistic, but nevertheless, lovable.

I find MuCheng to be extremely annoying. I know Mucheng doesn't have a lot to work with, but her passive way of acting makes me want to slap her face into more variation. It's like all she knows is 3 facial expressions, happy, sad, and unfanthomable sad. She's so polished in how she expresses herself, all the realism in her acting is gone. I can't take her seriously at all.

Tiffany, on the other hand, I like very much. Her expressions are lively, she has more than 3, her character is lovable and isn't helpless and on top of that, her actions are understandable. Probably it'll become worse as the show progress, but still, at least she's real, and I can relate to her.

And what's with the kid? He's not that cute. People are praising him left and right...I know ppl like to praise kids no matter what, but this kid really isn't that cute. In fact, you could tell he's going to grow up a baldy kid. He has little hair, his eyes keep on doing that annoying blinking thing, and his acting is mediocre. I guess you can't expect too much of children, and he's not a bad actor, but to call him a "prodigy" is too much.

Agree that the kid is overpraise...the kid is not super cute....it is okay....if you guys still remember I find the little girl Jenny in TVB cuter (though she have grown up now)

[unfaithfullgurl]

tiffany is so beautiful
i hope someday she gets her own drama where shes the lead girl
cuz she derserves it

[mag95513]

Wow O.o so many negativity! But I still find Mu Cheng and Guang Xi a better pair =)

[Lingsing]

this is just my opinion but i agree that Ady is not that good of an actor
she annoys me sometimes...with her "sad" eyes
it's all she can do

i haven't watched the recent epi yet but i'm going to later
hopefully it gets better
the last few epi seems kinda boring
all they did was cry and then cry some more

[Yoosutic]

tiffany character is just neutral to me. she isnt perfect but isnt very dislikable nor likable. i dont like that her character will get in the way of mu cheng n guang xi but the character herself isnt that bad. but nothing that impressive either.

on the other hand i adore mucheng characterization. she is strong and reasonable. she doesnt cry that easily n get trick that easily. she can see throught people's heart and can read the line well. she also isnt afraid to speak her mind.

i think ady did a great job protraying the character. my friend told me she didnt like ady sad expression all the time too but i think that have to do with the directing. but if yu think about it there really isnt much she could be happy about. however six year later she show more diversity in her expressions aroung xiao le.

the kid is adorable dunno why everyone hating on him. i like his character as well. really clever.

[holobuon]

yeahhhhhh, finally they broke the record, they so deserve it

[geminihazelnut]

I'm happy to see her finally play a good kind character instead of her usual snobby rude characters. She is really pretty and a good actress. I hope that the ending for this drama leaves both her and Mu Cheng having a happy ending. They deserve it.
Haven't watched the most recent episode yet, but I will. I saw the previews and the little boy looks like a cutie. I could've swore I saw Pi Dan from EFHL in it..0_0

Some people are either childish, or they just woke up at the wrong side of the bed or... their life is miserable! Cuteness is relative and subjective. I respect opinions , but ' dont need to bash the poor little kid, you know. I just hope someday... no one would say that your kid will grow up to ba bald and ugly- and we'll see how that feels.

Anyway, alway love Tiffany. she's one of the prettiest Taiwanese celebrity. Love her even more in AC.

I don't find it hard to choose between the 2 women. One is his true love and has his child, the other hides the truth of his previous life from him, allows his mother and her father to manipulate their relationship and she's okay with him being the cold blooded lawyer, money oriented shark. His true love brings out the best qualities in him, loves him unconditional, gave him her heart and soul. How is it hard to choose?

[k4r3bear]

xiao xiao bin is soo cute! when he first came out, it waso adorable with his alien ears!! lol such a cute child

[bebu_star]

Even though i must agree that Tiffany is extremely loveable this time....i still go for the Guan Xi and Mu Cheng pairing....

maybe because i feel as though Yi Qian is a bit mean for keeping his past away from him....

and Xiao Xiao Bin is extremely cute and intelligent! He may not be really good looking cute...but his personality makes up for it!
Such a bubbly kid^^

And some people are in denial and can't judge beauty for sh.it (or cuteness for that matter). Cuteness is relative, so one's sense of cuteness must be very skewed if one thinks this kid is cute. Can't blame the poor folks...must've never taken an art lesson in their life.

Anyhow, my kid will never be bald, because i myself have an abundance of hair, so thank you for your concern, but it's wholly unnecessary =]. Also, my kid will not be ugly, because i can judge my partner's attractiveness. Judging by your's, however...no comment.

I wouldn't call my comments as 'bashing' the kid. If these parents are daring enough to put this "cute" kid onscreen, i think it's fair to judge him. This article is based on a subjective p.o.v., so even if you consider my opinions as subjective, I don't see why it's not okay.

And for the record, cuteness does not only equate to being "beautiful/handsome" or " attractive".

Cute also encompasses one's personality, also on "something you do- cunningly"(or something/someone "CUNNING"), and it can also be referred to something/someone "little/small". Try looking it up on the dictionary,dear. If you think he is not cute then go, no one would really care, but basing it on the "attractiveness" or beauty alone, .......

Then,that's a very shallow understanding of the word.

Some people even call dogs,cats , pigs or even monkeys to be "cute", but are those animals attractive? Certainly not. If those animals are even called cute, why not this cunning and clever little kid?



The kid is cute in my opinion- even if he isnt handsome. He is small, he is cunning, he is clever. Seriously, 'dont need to take art lessons to understand the word "cute" . If you want to talk about art, and if you do know what art REALLY is, then you should know that art is even more subjective than you think it is. You can not measure art, and is never objective. An ugly person can be considered a masterpiece and very beautiful in the eyes of real artist...

Certainly, I dont care actually if you think my pov is skewed, then i believe quite a number of people have skewed views. And I'm glad I'm one of those MANY people, rather than belong to your kind.

Your comment is quite arrogant. Judging the kid on how he's going to look ugly and bald in the future? Maybe you have to tone down a little. You're picking up on the poor "little kid" who certainly wouldnt be able to defend himself. Pick someone your own size, unless you're a little kid yourself.

Just put yourself in the position of the kid's parents, or even on the kid himself (you should also know to some kids, such comments can cause "stigma" as they grow up). I'm sure you'll go all berserk like you did with my simple comment. So imagine when your little kid would be criticized like that? And since, you're "brave" enough to comment insensitively, then perhaps you should not get affected so much with my comments.

And...errr... judging on your comments and opinion...I really dont have to see you in person, but ... I bet you are THE MOST beautiful... creature in the universe.

Condescending much? There was no need to include such vulgar word.

And chill, he's just a kid. How would you feel if people vehemently bashed the appearance of your child? Xiao Xiao Bin may not be the absolute best child actor, or the best looking one, but his performance certainly left a good impression on a lot of the audiences, hence all the praises.

I find him extremely cute, unlike some people's appalling attitude.

the second leads in AC are all so good.
Yi Qian really did sacrifice a lot for GX.

XBB is really so cute.

I do agree that MuCheng brings out the best in GuangXi - it's obvious when we see what he has become again after MuCheng left.. But I don't completely agree on your opinion of YiQian. It's true that she is apparently okay with his ways of being a lawyer - or maybe she just doesn't care. But she doesn't know about his past with MuCheng. I believe she knows that there was someone he tried to help in a court case and she seemed to mean something to him, but she's unaware of the details..

I already found your first comment rather offensive, I mean it's a kid we're talking about. There's no need to say that he'll be bald.. - And what do you know? Can you tell the future? The kid is 4, how can you possibly know that he'll be bald?
In your next comment you not only bash another user on AF, you bash the parents AND the kid.
Even if you don't find the kid cute there's no need to bash him. Imagine if your kid was called ugly. Besides, judging cuteness or beauty is a subjective thing, so even if you think you can judge your partner's attractiveness other people won't necessarily agree with you.

i agree with you too. i dont get why its hard to choose? its so obvious who he raelly loves. tiffanny is definatly pretty and her character is okk but i think guang xi thought he love her cuz he owe her his life n she been there for him. more of a sympathetic relationship although i dont think he is very conscious of that nor will he admit it just yet.

wow do yu even think before your type all this. your perspective of cuteness must be one of a kind. never seen this type of person before. you sound awfully vain by your criticism.

Firstly, Lindsay, I don't need someone to look up the dictionary to find out what the word "cute" means. Cute also means adorable, fyi. He's not adorable. And you're the one who associated the word "cute" to make it mean the opposite of attractive, which is ugly. Look, the pot calling the kettle black! Also, you're the one who bashed me. Fires don't start unless there's smoke.

And art is subjective, but it can also be judged objectively. You must not have taken aesthetic arts to know that there are perfect ratios/aka perfect proportions in life. There is an ideal. But of course you wouldn't agree to that -- simply because you are too obsessed over the fact that art is subjective. Sure, Linday, whatever. And you can belong to your own kind, the kind that never improves because they only see things in a "skewed" way.

*Sigh* Listen alright? Stop taking tv so seriously...this kid is never going to read my comment, and even more so, he's a baldy. When he's that age, and his hair still hasn't grown out more than it should, there's little chance he's going to blossom into a full-head of hair boy.

I really shouldn't blame the kid. I should blame the producers. Who chose the kid for this role anyway? The parents are no better -- they're OBV. skewed in their perception of their child, as most parents should be. But really, if the parents think their kid can be on television and earn fandom, they really should be able to endure the backlash that goes with it.

And my comment may be insensitive, but who the hell gives a crap. Only people who take themselves and this kid too seriously I suppose. What a bunch of fools. And FYI, I am quite a modest person, as I know that my qualifications are not ideal.

That being said, what makes people raise their own egos so high as to think they can do it with little to no talent, or worse yet, none?

*And I won't give the satisfaction of answering everybody else's questions because you're all pretty much saying the same thing: you're a horrible person, you insulted a kid, blah blah blah. Face reality, yeah?

Woah, just chill ok? I get that you don't think the kid is cute, but there's really no need to bash his parents.

[kiiss]

I'm just watching this now, a bit late but not too late. XD (i seldom...very seldom watch TW drama, more to HK's TVB)

Hmmm, for my opinion, character Yi Qian is a bit too Mary Sue, pretty, kind hearted, rich, a bit too ideal and for that reason, I don't really like her character, for being too perfect. As for Mu Cheng's, she has sad eyes, sad enough tat it annoyed some viewers but as strong as she tried to be (a single mom), she's unable to hide her longing and love for Guang Xi. A bit more real la...

As for choosing, I will find it hard to choose too. One is true love, but one that he'd only spent a short few months, that he has no memory off, but even if he remembers, it will be a strong but brief memory. Another one is a 6 years worth of memories, they had been together for so long, did so many things together, went to so many places. So it's a struggle of memories and feelings.

Do you go for the strong true love feelings(but mind you, it was very brief) you once had or maybe still have, or the r.ship of 6 years of good memories (they were just good memories but not strong love)? How to choose la??
